The Department of Tourism (DOT) is calling on foreign and local culture aficionados to experience Kultura Filipino, which features the Philippines’ traditional songs and dances as presented by the country’s top performing groups. Launched early this year by DOT, in partnership with the National Commission on Culture and Arts (NCCA), Kultura Filipino is held every Tuesday and Thursday at Barbara’s Restaurant at the Plaza San Luis Complex, History Town Intramuros, Manila.
Slated to perform in all Tuesdays of July is Sinukwan Kapampangan which will present Pampanga’s folk dances, while Sining Bulakenyo and Lahing Batangan will render Maglalatik, Sayaw sa Bangko, Singkil, La Jota Manileña, and other ethnic and rural dances in all Thursdays of the same month. Wearing sophisticated costumes and elaborate make-up, the members of the groups ease into their different roles effortlessly, amidst a backdrop of dramatic lighting.
Holding these exemplary shows within the walls of Intramuros also adds an atmosphere of historic and old world charm. Performances are held at Barbara’s Restaurant, Intramuros. Packaged at a special introductory rate of P495 per person, the show includes a dinner buffet.
